Ranger John from Angel Island State Historic Site told shared with STEM Academy 8th graders the story of Chinese and other immigrants who arrived in San Francisco from 1910 to 1940. The students were able to see the barracks, poems etched into the walls, and other facilities that were experienced by detainees awaiting approval to enter the United States.

STEM Academy 8th graders learned about how the Bill of Rights impacts the life of everyday people during a video program with the National Archives from Washington, DC.
